98 IT'S NOT THERE; NO IT'S NOT THERE

98  IT’S NOT THERE; NO IT’S NOT THERE

It’s not there; no it’s not there
The love, the passion, the sheer devotion
High as a mountain, deep as an ocean
It’s not there; no it’s not there
The beauty that would shame the moon
And the coyness that would make you a loon
It’s not there; no it’s not there

It’s not a place in which you’d drink
Where their glasses they would not clink
And it’s not the place in which you would be
Where love and beauty you would not see
And where your love you would not declare
And where your hair you would not tear
It’s not the place; no it’s not the place
         
                          URDU POEM
          YEH KIS DAYAAR E ADUM MAEN...

Naheen hay, yuin toe naheen hay keh ab naheen paida
Kisi kay husn maen shamsheer e aaftaab ka husn
Nigaah jis say milaao toe aankh dukhnay lagay
Kisi ada maen ada e kharaam e baad e saba
Jisay khayaal maen laao toe dil sulagnay lagay

Naheen hay, yuin toe naheen hay keh ab naheen baaqi
Jahaan maen bazmgah e husn o ishq ka maila
Bina e lutf o mohabbat, riwaaj e mehr o wafa

Yeh kis dayyar e adum maen muqeem haen hum tum
Jahaan pay muzhda e deedaar e husn e yaar toe kya
Naweed e aamad e roaz e jaza naheen aati

Yeh kis khumaarkaday maen nadeem haen hum tum
Jahaan pay shorish rindaan e maigusaar toe kya
Shakist e sheesha dil ki sada naheen ati
